@arogoosey

this is rly just a mix of stuff sry. cant rly be assed to organise it or anything

All foreign films/shows should have two subtitle options. A localized one that better serves the original intent of the story and dialogue and a more literal one that awkwardly translates phrases in a preserved state, specifically for perverts who want to learn the language (me)

Ideally subtitles would take up about a third of the entire screen, consisting of the written dialogue in the original language, a literal translation in English, and a localized translation. "That sounds terrible and inconvenient" NOT EVERYTHING IS FOR YOU. SOME THINGS CAN BE 4 ME

“If a society puts half its children into short skirts and warns them not to move in ways that reveal their panties, while putting the other half into jeans and overalls and encouraging them to climb trees, play ball, and participate in other vigorous outdoor games; if later, during adolescence, the children who have been wearing trousers are urged to “eat like growing boys,” while the children in skirts are warned to watch their weight and not get fat; if the half in jeans runs around in sneakers or boots, while the half in skirts totters about on spike heels, then these two groups of people will be biologically as well as socially different. Their muscles will be different, as will their reflexes, posture, arms, legs and feet, hand-eye coordination, and so on. Similarly, people who spend eight hours a day in an office working at a typewriter or a visual display terminal will be biologically different from those who work on construction jobs. There is no way to sort the biological and social components that produce these differences. We cannot sort nature from nurture when we confront group differences in societies in which people from different races, classes, and sexes do not have equal access to resources and power, and therefore live in different environments. Sex-typed generalizations, such as that men are heavier, taller, or stronger than women, obscure the diversity among women and among men and the extensive overlaps between them… Most women and men fall within the same range of heights, weights, and strengths, three variables that depend a great deal on how we have grown up and live. We all know that first-generation Americans, on average, are taller than their immigrant parents and that men who do physical labor, on average, are stronger than male college professors. But we forget to look for the obvious reasons for differences when confronted with assertions like ‘Men are stronger than women.’ We should be asking: ‘Which men?’ and ‘What do they do?’ There may be biologically based average differences between women and men, but these are interwoven with a host of social differences from which we cannot disentangle them.”

Yes.

Here, have a study (x) showing that mothers underestimate their daughter’s physical capacity from as young as 11 months old (though in reality it’s identical to that of their son’s at the same age). And if you think that parents acting on those expectations won’t alter their children’s development, then I have a sloped bridge to sell you.

"fuck marry kill" is a stupid game. First of all, marriage is evil. Secondly, everyone must die.

Approximately 50% of marriages end in divorce and only around 8% of trans people detransition (with 62% of detransitioners subsequently transitioning again) so I think we should stop infantilizing trans people and hammering them over and over with “What if you regret this?” comments and start turning that scrutiny towards people who are engaged as they are statistically much more likely to regret their decision and suffer for it.

not a fully formed idea but something about a modern hamlet using AI to talk to his "father" and slowly succumbing to very real and true madness as he loses his grip on reality in favour of clinging to this last remaining piece of his "father" that isn't real at all...

i've toyed with the idea that maybe, instead of having them be royals, hamlet's father started a tech company and was a ceo and the AI is still something discovered by security guards + horatio. maybe hamlet sr created it himself as a prototype or safeguard. maybe claudius made it for funsies or more nefarious purposes i.e. using his brother's voice/image for evil

i just think it would be a lot of fun... and painful. i'd probably have the AI be ever present in all of hamlet's scenes. maybe he wears a bluetooth earbud the whole play through which his "father" speaks to him and now and then the audience can hear what his "father" is saying to him. sometimes it's urging him to act, sometimes it's berating him, sometimes it's playing ads

Aro culture is having your friends come to you for relationship advice because you give good advice in general and then getting annoyed when your relationship advice is "break up with them" or "don't date"

generally a lot of aros like the "communicate or break up" model. either talk about it and work it out, or - if that isn't possible - it's time to recognize that the relationship isn't going to be healthy.

seven minutes in hell where you beat the shit out of each other. in a closet

seven minutes in hell but its just seven minutes in heaven but youre aromantic

not an apologizer but a contextualizer. yes the character did that but please understand the Circumstance. yes they had other options but they had to make this choice in a sea of available bad choices. and also it made the narrative more interesting. won't anybody think about the narrative!!!!!

has anyone ever actually seen a shareholder or are we just supposed to believe they actually exist

I did once when I was working in a coffee shop. He was on a business call loudly talking about some tech speculation. When I asked him how it went a few days later, he panicked and asked how I knew such sensitive information. From this I gather they are of weak constitution, and startle easily

FIRST step to enjoying any media is getting attached to the character whose suicidal tendencies are the most obvious

Second step is shipping them with whoever they are most likely to become codependent with.
